Chapter 103
Chapter 103
In the inner city of the Tianqi State capital, near the imperial palace, there are numerous government offices.
If you were walking in the outer city and hit someone, it might be an official's family member.
But if it happens in the inner city, the person who is grabbed at random may be the official himself.
There are countless government offices outside the palace.
Just to talk about the ones that everyone is familiar with, coming out of the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace, to the east are the Six Ministries, as well as the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial Observatory, the Imperial Medical Service, the Imperial Carriage Treasury, etc.
Across the Imperial Street are the military governor's offices, as well as the familiar Taichang Temple, Tongzhengsi, etc.
These rows of government offices are only half of the numerous government offices in the capital.
There are even some places whose names no one knows, but they are also filled with officials.
In so many government offices.
The Hanlin Academy occupies a large area and has great power, but when placed in the entire giant, it still seems to be very small.
The Historiography Institute under the Hanlin Academy is even more of a small fry.
After entering the Hanlin Academy, right in front of you are the Wenyuan Pavilion and the Jixian Pavilion, where four university scholars sit respectively.
Most of the rooms on the left are "offices" of more than forty cabinet ministers.
The Historian's Office on the right is not small, but most of the space is a warehouse for classics and documents.
The only place left for the officials here to actually work is probably the compiler's office and a room shared by two editors.
The rest of the people work in the "big office".
But now, in the big room here, including the editor, nine people from the entire Historian's Office, including two people temporarily transferred here, a total of eleven people, are all working here.
They also set up a board next to them.
There were four big words written on the board.
Today's task.
Below today's task are the names of four people.
When the four of them went to work in the morning, they set a goal for themselves.
For example, how many documents need to be sorted out and how many errands need to be handled today.
When you get off work, you should write down what you have actually completed.
After they finished writing, Ji Zhuangyuan, the highest-ranking official in the Historian's Office, quickly gave everyone a summary and ranked the first and last place of the day.
Ji Zhuangyuan doesn't even need to say much, just rank them out.
Ji Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, everyone go home quickly and we'll talk tomorrow."
ah?
We'll talk about this tomorrow?!
Song Liuqun stared closely at the last-last name.
Why is it him!
Song Liuqun rushed over.
Those who actually participated in the ranking were the two Shujishi and their two editors.
Among the remaining seven people, Ji Zhuangyuan is the boss and there is no need to rank them.
There are six other people, two of whom are left and right classicists, working specifically for Ji Yuan.
The last four were assigned to them as followers.
It is these four people who have to complete the competition.
Who makes them the real officials of high rank here?
If one is not careful in the ranking among the four people, he will become the last one.
And today is the first time I’m ranked, and I’m last?
Why!
Song Liuqun looked at the followers behind him.
The other party waved his hand immediately.
He tried hard!
He really tried hard!
No matter how stupid Song Liuqun was, he knew that he couldn't offend his only subordinate at this moment, so he said abruptly: "Let's work hard tomorrow and not be the last one."
The remaining three groups pricked up their ears.
If you don't count last, then shouldn't we be the ones to count?
That's right.
Ji Yuan directly divided the eight people under his command, except for the left and right classics, into four groups.
Two Shujishi and two Bianxiu, each leading one.
There are four groups in total, with daily ranking competition, a small summary every five days, and a large summary every ten days.
This kind of ranking is unbearable for modern people.
What's more, to these academic masters.
Whether it was the two Shujishi, or the two editors Song Liuqun and Xie Zhifu.
Who isn’t a top student?
He passed the imperial examination and became a Juren (Juren) from among tens of thousands of people, and then a Jinshi (Jinshi). Even among a group of Jinshi, he still stood out.
This kind of scholar has always been the best since childhood.
How could someone who is used to being number one want to be the last?
It’s difficult to change the mindset alone.
Song Liuqun and Xie Zhifu had always been dissatisfied with Ji Yuan because of their mentality.
Tell them now.
You are here, it’s the countdown!
These four people are going crazy just thinking about it.
Although the two scholars had different reasons, they were equally stimulated.
If they were to talk about feeling aggrieved, how could they not feel aggrieved?
Back then, they were also the chosen ones of heaven, they passed the imperial examinations, waited for the palace examinations, and strolled around the Imperial Street.
He also passed the examination and became a scholar.
Which one is not glamorous.
Finally, I was admitted to the Hanlin Academy and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
What's the result?
The result is what it looks like today.
After waiting for three years, no official was assigned.
It’s not that they haven’t been active, but there are always accidents.
Now there are more officials than positions.
If you don’t have connections, you really can’t get the position you want.
In fact, the Ministry of Personnel had allocated several vacancies to them.
But when you feel it is not good, you want to wait a little longer.
Who knew that the next positions would be lower and lower.
It has been delayed until now, and the new Jinshi has come.
The two Shujishi felt very uncomfortable at the thought of competing with these newcomers.
I heard that this has happened before, and many officials waited for five or six years before they got the right position.
But they are generally ordinary Jinshi, or Juren below that.
It was rare for such scholars as them to be retained.
It would be very embarrassing if a new batch of Shujishi arrived and they had not been divided up yet.
This is just like repeating a grade. If you repeat it too long, you will feel embarrassed.
At that time, I would definitely have to choose an official position at random.
Then all their years of hard study and waiting would be in vain.
These things are already frustrating enough, and now I tell them that even more frustrating things are yet to come. If they don’t do their job well, they will be ranked last among the newcomers?
How is this any different than throwing their face on the ground?
They were all outstanding in their hometown and in the imperial examination of their year.
For people who are used to being the first, it is difficult to accept that they are lagging behind others.
No, they have to work hard and make themselves better than others.
At least, at least you can't be the last one!
Otherwise they could just resign and go home!
The four people were filled with fighting spirit, and a long-lost impulse surged in their hearts.
Their goal is!
Don’t be the last one!
The four people following behind them suddenly felt a strange pressure.
I feel like I'm about to be led by the other party at any moment!
Ji Yuan watched all this silently.
The fighting spirit in the hearts of top test-takers is much stronger than ordinary people think.
When they really get motivated to do the questions, most people simply can’t pass them!
I understand their thoughts too well, after all, I am the same kind of person.
Among them, Song Liuqun and his group were already dumbfounded.
Today is May 18th, and it is also their first ranking.
I am the last one!
In the entire clerical job, the job he despised the most, he was ranked last!
Song Liuqun, so grief-stricken and angry, returned home and wanted to curse someone.
His father looked at his expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is it possible that your boss is mad at you?"
Song Liuqun's father is Lord Song, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works.
He did feel upset for a while when he heard that his son did not become the top scholar, but at least he was the third place in the imperial examination and was directly admitted to the Hanlin Academy, which was much better than his own situation.
Although he went to the Zhuangyuan lecture on May 16th, he was stimulated again.
But wasn't everything fine yesterday?
What happened today?
"Ji Liuyuan made some kind of ranking in the Historian Academy, a daily ranking, and I got last place!"
What are the daily rankings and what is the last one?
Lord Song, who had been an official for decades, asked his son to speak slowly. When Song Liuqun finished speaking, Lord Song's eyes suddenly lit up.
Actually, this method is not particularly new, because the Ministry of Personnel conducts its annual assessment in this way.
But it is really hard to set up all the content in such detail, even setting a goal and a ranking every day.
Plus a five-day summary, a ten-day summary, and a month-end summary.
That's different.
"Not bad, that's a good idea."
Song Liuqun: Dad? Say it again?!
Wait a minute, he forgot that his father is also someone’s boss, and he would definitely agree with Ji Yuan’s approach!
Fortunately, he is my biological father after all. Although it was the first time that Mr. Song encountered this performance model, he quickly came up with countermeasures based on his decades of work experience.
While learning the work skills from his father, Song Liuqun also learned how to identify documents from the senior officials.
For example, what kind of documents seem to be a bunch of nonsense at first glance, and what kind of documents actually mean.
In short, many things require skills. Once you learn them, you will be able to process files much faster tomorrow.
On May 19th, Song Liuqun, who was ranked last yesterday, came over with dark circles under his eyes, but he was obviously full of fighting spirit.
today!
Definitely not a countdown.
The boards inside the office have been replaced.
May 19th, today’s target.
Thanks to the editor:
Song Editor:
Mr. Liu:
Mr. Chen:
Come write down your goals for today!
Song Liuqun was full of questions. He had arrived early enough, so how come Ji Yuan arrived even earlier and even posted the target paper?
Apart from other things, Ji Zhuangyuan started his career too early.
And his handwriting seems to be really good.
Song Liuqun didn't have time to think about anything else and added fifty after his name.
That’s right!
He has fifty documents to process today!
Only fifteen were processed yesterday. It was his mistake!
He returned from studying yesterday!
His father seemed to be idle on weekdays, but it turns out that he is so good at handling official business.
Lord Song: I have been an official for decades, and I can’t handle these small problems of yours?
Song Liuqun also understood that even his father had to learn how to handle paperwork, and it was not something that made him inferior to others as he had previously thought.
Song Liuqun took a deep breath, sat down, and began to organize the things at hand.
After the remaining three people arrived, they saw the goals Song Liuqun gave them, and they were all filled with big question marks.
ah?
Did they see that right?!
Fifty copies?!
What are you thinking about!
The three of them looked at each other and gritted their teeth.
Fifty is fifty!
They just don't believe it!
Ji Yuan and Zuoyou Dianji watched, but Zuoyou Dianji whispered, "Even if each of us sorts out fifty copies, it will take a long time."
If you are marking documents, fifty a day is indeed a lot.
But it's just tidying up, they don't have to be as difficult as they seem.
Ji Yuan smiled: "Give them some time to adapt, this is just the beginning."
After that, he looked at the two of them and asked, "Have you sorted out all the paperwork records from these years?"
They both nodded.
These written communications are naturally recorded.
Starting from March of the 30th year of Conghuayuan, all documents that needed to be archived were transferred from the cabinet ministers to them.
In other words, until this year, it has been more than eight years of clerical work.
Although these documents were only piled up in the warehouse of the Historian's Office, a record was kept every time they were delivered.
Each of the six ministries and departments sends in a batch approximately every three months.
Over the years, there are almost several hundred lists.
Ji Yuan ordered the left and right classics to be copied according to the year.
Now let's sort out Huayuan's documents from the past 30 years, and then let everyone classify them according to the content of the documents.
In other words, Song Liuqun and four others were responsible for reviewing the contents of the document.
Their men put them in order according to categories.
In just one morning, all six documents from Huayuan over the past thirty years were placed in front of the four of them.
The documents piled up were even taller than them.
The contents of the documents that have been processed will be put away, and those that have not been processed will be placed aside and will be reviewed by the cabinet ministers when the time comes.
These things are messy and complicated, but under the arrangement of the era, everyone is doing his or her own thing.
In the 30th year of Huayuan, other government offices sent documents four times, each time with nearly 7,000 files, most of which were processed.
According to the month, the specific content of the matter is all classified.
It’s about 7,000 each time, and almost 30,000 a year.
The speed at which his subordinates process documents is fifty per day.
Okay, okay, it takes five months to process one year's documents.
If I really have to finish these eight years without a day's rest, it would be almost three or four years?
The next imperial examination is almost over!
Ji Yuan is still thinking about how to speed up the progress.
Four of his men were already killed.
On the first day, May 18th, the last one was Song Liuqun.
The next day, Song Liuqun, who had learned the method, was no longer the last one, and he even became the first one. The last one became Xie Zhifu.
Xie Zhifu couldn't bear it, so he went home to ask for help.
The two Shujishi, who originally had more than three years of office experience, were all overtaken on the third day.
Until May 20th, it is time to make a summary.
The two Shujishi were at the bottom!
Now, the two of them couldn't sit still anymore.
How come I am ranked last on the day of summary?
Is this reasonable?!
But Song Liuqun and Xie Zhifu were not much better.
Because they are also reaching their limit.
It's really hard to roll.
The four of them sat there obediently, finally not as arrogant as before.
Epoch Times did not make any comment on this.
The scholars before me were all in their twenties, almost thirty.
There is no need to say more.
Ji Yuan only said, "From the 18th to the 20th of today, a total of three days, we have processed a total of 458 documents."
???
How many? !
The four were shocked.
There are so many!
They seem to be quite powerful!
Ji Yuan continued, "That's good. We've probably finished one-fourteenth of the work from January to March of the 30th year of Huayuan."
Wait a minute?
How many years?
It has been thirty-eight years now.
They have only completed one-fourteenth of the thirty years from January to March?
Are you kidding???
Ji Yuan smiled at them.
Of course he was not joking, and continued: "Don't forget, it's June soon, and a new batch of documents will be delivered soon."
???
ah? !
No wonder no one was in charge of the Historian's Office before.
This paperwork is so difficult.
The first people probably pretended not to see these things because they were so numerous and complicated.
The same goes for the people behind.
It has been piling up until now!
“The people in front are too irresponsible.”
"That's right. There were so many Shujishi at that time. Why didn't we take the opportunity to sort them out?"
"If we accumulate a little bit every day, we will definitely not be able to finish it in more than eight years."
Life is piling up.
no way.
The four people have "shared a common hatred for the enemy" and started to complain about the people who came before them.
But with so many documents, just a few of them are not enough, right?
"How about we wait until the new Shujishi arrives?"
Ji Yuan nodded: "Of course."
Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief when Ji Yuan continued, "But before they come, we need to sort out our working methods."
“How to organize these documents quickly and well.”
As he spoke, Ji Yuan added a name to the list of tasks for tomorrow.
era.
The number behind it is two hundred.
This is something that Ji Yuan has calculated carefully.
First of all, most of the documents here are summary reports, which require very little processing and no review.
Just glance over to make sure things are done, then quickly file them away.
Song Liuqun and his colleagues read every document carefully.
There is nothing wrong with being serious, but it is wrong if you use it in the wrong place.
Their thoughts had not changed for a while, so when they saw the numbers given by Ji Yuan, they jumped to their feet.
How is that possible!
You can’t finish watching it even if you don’t eat or drink!
Even if you watch selectively, that won’t work!
In particular, Song Liuqun said, "That's not how you read documents. If you don't read them clearly, you might miss a lot of things."
His father said so.
That's what his dad did.
Ji Yuan said, "That's unfinished business. You forgot that the documents we have left here have all been processed."
That’s true.
The two Shujishi have figured something out.
Yes, they knew about this before, so why do they have to learn two editing courses and go over each document carefully?
As for the rest, there is no need to talk about the era.
Ji Yuan believed them and they would definitely understand what he was talking about.
As for tomorrow's goal?
The morning of May 21st.
The highest era goal is to organize two hundred documents.
The remaining people naturally added two hundred as well.
Make them admit defeat?
Definitely impossible!
Yesterday, Jiyuan also said that they should summarize good methods.
You know what, Song Liuqun and Xie Zhifu’s family have both given suggestions, so maybe it will work?
Mr. Song from the Ministry of Works also said that what Ji Yuan said was indeed reasonable.
So many documents have actually been processed, just take a quick look at them and then categorize them.
The four of them looked at each other and simply spoke out their thoughts.
Now is not the time to compete, we also need to cooperate.
How long will it take to process so many documents?
The four scholars sat together and spent the whole morning putting together a plan, using their experience from the past few days to help.
They didn't realize that they had actually reached a new level.
A few days passed in a flash.
The Historian's Office finally got back on track.
In order to complete the task quickly and not to be the last one, everyone really tried their best.
And everyone gradually realized it.
Although their superior Era is not involved in the ranking, the daily numbers are actually always written on it.
There seemed to be more of them every day.
Is this number not written randomly?
Or is it that there are some classic books helping him?
Everyone secretly observed and saw Ji Yuan coming every morning, arranging the day's tasks first, and then doing the same clerical work as them.
He flipped through the pages very quickly, and seemed to be able to see the clues at a glance.
Is he really watching this or is he pretending?
Several people observed secretly and read the documents compiled by Ji Yuan privately.
All documents are accurate, without any mistakes!
Is this even possible?!
Looking at the content he has organized, it is clean, quick and accurate.
No way.
He is better than them in the Jiyuan exam and even better than them in serving as an official?
Not to mention the two editors, even the Shujishi who had been in office for three years was shocked.
Compared with Ji Yuan, can they be considered to be working seriously?
And these things are so boring, how can Ji Yuan continue to read them?
When asked about Ji Yuan, he answered directly: "Do you know what other Jinshi have done in various departments?"
Of course they know.
The scholars who observe government affairs need to learn about the government affairs of various departments.
From money to criminal law, and one must also be familiar with the law.
This will help you work better.
Some Jinshi have even been sent out to perform official duties.
Wait a minute.
Others were learning how to be errands, how to handle actual official duties.
What about them?
How do they learn?
Their boss is even a newly-minted Jinshi!
It's like, we are all interns, and your group seems to have entered the secretariat, but there is no one to lead you.
The next batch will intern in real departments, and when they come out, they will have mastered a lot of skills.
Those who work in the Ministry of Revenue will definitely know a thing or two about money and grain matters.
Working in the Ministry of Justice, you will be better able to handle laws and prisons.
These skills can definitely be used when they are released externally.
"How do we learn?!"
This is also a drawback left over from the past.
No one expected that the Historian's Office was rather flashy.
When everyone was dumbfounded, Ji Yuan pointed at the six clerks and said, "You are all famous students from all over the country. In our words, you are academic masters."
"If you were given a few books, you would certainly be able to learn thoroughly."
"What if these books become memorials?"
Straight A student?
It's a weird word, but it's really apt.
All four of them are excellent students, hardworking and talented.
Otherwise it wouldn't be here.
Wait a minute.
The meaning of era is.
What other Jinshi learned in the Six Ministries, did they also learn from the documents sent by the Six Ministries?
Even more comprehensive than what they have learned?
These documents contain detailed information about the affairs of each department, how each matter should be handled, and even the time required for handling it.
If you want to get something done, most people would be at a loss.
But what if I gave you a guide?
The countless documents here represent the "strategies" for countless things, which is an old practice.
When you encounter the same thing, you can follow these old routines.
This is even the reason why the court required the documents to be sorted out.
This is not a waste of time, but rather an archive of everything. Next time you encounter the same case, you can easily find it and compare what you did before with what you should do now.
This is not the headache of mountains of documents and endless meetings.
This is clearly the way the court has handled various matters over the past eight or nine years.
It is an ocean of "knowledge practice".
There was ecstasy in the eyes of several people, and when they looked at Ji Yuan, it turned into gratitude.
This is the view of Ji Yuan.
In his eyes, each of these documents is an experience package.
Reading one will gain a little experience, and after reading enough, you will become truly proficient in government affairs.
Even if it's just "paper talk", these are real cases.
I think it will come in handy after being released.
These experiences are invaluable.
For a time, these documents, which were originally considered cumbersome, were regarded as treasures in the hands of the four Jinshi.
They studied with the same spirit as when they took the imperial examinations.
After reading the same type of documents to the end, they can even find the differences and omissions.
By looking at how other people handle different types of things, I finally have a better idea of what to do.
By May 30th, the entire Historian's Office had classified all of Huayuan's documents from the first half of the 30th year before Huayuan and put them in the warehouse.
Looking at their own achievements, several people were indescribably happy.
When Lord Song from the Ministry of Works and Xie Zhifu's father heard what Ji Yuan had done, they looked at their son with pity.
Look at what this has become.
Still full of fighting spirit.
But Ji Yuan is indeed quite powerful.
First, use improper countdown to stimulate the potential of subordinates.
Then use the study of government affairs to give them practical benefits and encourage everyone to take the initiative to do things.
Apart from anything else, they have indeed made great progress.
But are these things really proportional to their efforts?
After all, it's just mechanical labor.
After reading the documents to the end, they are all basically the same and there is not much experience left.
When Lord Song was about to speak but hesitated.
Prime Minister Li praised the Historiographers' Institute in the Hanlin Academy, saying that the "History Historiographers' Institute's Methodology of Government Affairs" they submitted was very good and worthy of study by the various ministries below.
ah?
What is "The Methodology of Government Affairs of the Historian's Office"?
But when I opened it, I saw the signature on it was his son?!
There are four authors in total, and the compiler is Ji Yuan.
All ministries received this article from the Hanlin Academy.
This article first explains the importance of clerical work, and then emphasizes the characteristics of this work and what needs attention.
In short, list out one, two, three, and four how to handle things quickly and efficiently.
Anyone who has done practical work knows that this thing is indeed useful.
It's even a work manual.
After reading it, everyone in the Ministry of Works couldn't help but congratulate Mr. Song: "Mr. Song is really amazing. He has been in the Historian Academy for less than a month, and he has already sorted out his own experience."
"Look at this article. It has clear logic and simple methods. This 'The Methodology of Government Affairs of the Historian Academy' can definitely be studied seriously by the new Jinshi scholars, and it will definitely be effective."
Lord Song thought to himself.
Now, when his son goes home every day, he discusses with him how to handle official business. How can he have the time to write such a good article?
Looking at the four names below the article, it even says later that the authors’ names are in no particular order.
This is to emphasize that all four people are equally important.
And the organizer behind.
For the era.
But Lord Song was still happy.
This article was praised by Prime Minister Li and even circulated among various ministries.
It can be seen that Prime Minister Li really approves it.
This time, my son will definitely become more famous.
This will be of great benefit to your future career and will have no harm at all!
Maybe the prince and the emperor have seen it!
Lord Song was extremely excited.
The same is true for Uncle Xie.
Their colleagues kept praising them, which made them very happy.
If any young person in a family has such an ambition, then smoke will be coming out of their ancestral graves!
This incident was like a bolt from the blue to the new scholars.
Everyone is working hard, how come you suddenly achieved such results?
This year's more than 200 new Jinshi candidates have not had an easy life after being assigned to various government offices.
At the beginning, in order to suppress their arrogance, all the departments went to do odd jobs.
After doing odd jobs for more than ten days and seeing that they had become obedient, I started to give them "internship".
But there are differences between internships.
If your family has a good relationship with a superior, he can take you to do real work, even a very respectable job.
If you don't have any connections and don't show filial piety, just wait to be left out in the cold.
They doze off in various departments or do the lowest-level jobs without any actual ability.
Of course, if you are very capable, that’s another matter.
But it’s not easy to show your ability.
We are all Jinshi, so how big is the difference between our abilities?
In short, internship days are not easy.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is little money but a lot of work to do.
Monk Bai knows some laws and is very busy every day.
But he is considered good in the Ministry of Justice.
Like Dong Kang from Dianzhou Prefecture and Gao Laosi from Jianmeng Prefecture.
The two of them were having a miserable time in the Ministry of Rites.
The affairs of the Ministry of Rites are also very complicated, but what is more frustrating than the complexity of the affairs is that the human relationships are even more complicated.
Dong Kang was from Dianzhou Prefecture, a remote place, and his family had no connections in the court.
Now I have been sitting on the bench. Apart from some unimportant chores, I have no other jobs. Or the jobs are thankless, which makes me angry.
Gao Laosi is even worse off than him.
The Gao family used to have some connections in the capital, but people have left and the relationship is forgotten, and those who used to have a good relationship may not continue to have a good relationship.
But those who have bad relationships will think of ways to trip others up.
Gao Laosi fell into many traps and was scolded many times.
What can they do?
In modern times, if you go to a company for an internship, you can still say "I quit" and run away.
But that doesn't work here.
They are waiting for assignment and the opportunity to be sent abroad.
If you offend someone, your chances will be even slimmer.
There are also some successful candidates in the imperial examination who have not yet been appointed as officials.
What can they do?
The newly-appointed scholars probably couldn’t have imagined this.
After passing the imperial examination with great fanfare, this was what was waiting for them.
There's nothing we can do about it. This is the capital city, and there are officials everywhere.
Newly-appointed Jinshi?
Just the bottom.
Some Jinshi even became discouraged and disappointed.
After decades of hard study, this is what I get in return?
Fortunately, there are still two things to keep them waiting.
The first is the selection of Shujishi on the ninth day of July.
Would life be better if I could be selected to the Hanlin Academy?
In fact, no one is sure because we heard that the Imperial Academy's Historian Office is very busy.
It is daunting to sort out seven or eight years of documents together.
When someone walked by, those people didn't even raise their heads. I heard that there were hundreds of thousands of documents waiting for them to sort out.
Hundreds of thousands of copies!
Is this a job for humans?
Therefore, the selection of Shujishi seems to be less attractive to them than before.
The second is the end-of-year assignment.
As long as they can be assigned as officials, these small minions in the capital will become big officials from other places.
I heard that the lowest official sent out would be a sixth-rank official.
But in the local area, this official position is already good, and it is more relaxed than in the capital.
So, just be patient until the officials are sent.
These two choices kept the new scholars hanging.
However, everyone still prefers the latter.
Tell them now.
Those classmates who went to the Hanlin Academy, have they already made achievements?
What’s the difference between that and a bolt of thunder out of the blue?
They all thought that they were suffering together.
Tell them now.
They are not suffering, they are eating meat!
Are these new scholars afraid of doing things?
Don't be afraid.
They are afraid of doing useless work!
The few people who went to the Hanlin Academy not only did not work in vain, they even became famous.
When everyone read "The Methodology of Administrative Affairs of the Historian's Office", they not only thought that the article was well written, but also envied their colleagues above them.
We are all low-ranking officials, how come you have achieved such great results?
It turns out they are the only ones who suffer?
Needless to say, the newly-appointed scholars were already full of resentment towards Guanzheng.
Those newly-appointed scholars who relied on connections and money looked at the jobs they had and wondered what to do. They also felt that these jobs were not good enough.
His own articles and methods were sent to major government offices in the capital.
When it comes to fame, what can compare to this?!
For a time, going to the Hanlin Academy to become a Shujishi once again became a popular choice.
But, why?
Wasn’t it said some time ago that the new scholars in the Hanlin Academy were sorting out things from seven or eight years ago?
How did you suddenly become famous?
Just because you can write articles?
Careful people finally saw Ji Yuan’s name in the article.
There are also veteran officials in official circles who analyze the situation clearly.
At this time, in the Historian Office of the Hanlin Academy, several people were staring at Ji Yuan.
They had never admired someone so much.
Even someone who is much younger than them.
The methods in that article were indeed summarized by them.
But the content of the article was written by Ji Yuan.
After Ji Yuan finished writing, he even asked them all to read it and asked them, "Is there anything wrong?"
Of course no problem.
Ji Yuan's article is written in great detail, worthy of being the top-ranked article.
Even the handwriting is beautiful.
Then what?
Then everyone just circulated it and praised it, thinking that everything was fine and that it was their work guide.
Who could have thought that within a few days, this "Methodology of Administrative Affairs of the Historian's Office" would be delivered to Prime Minister Li.
It was even promoted by Prime Minister Li to all major government offices in the capital!
"Did you, Lord Ji, send that article to Prime Minister Li?"
Ji Yuan nodded: "It must be me, what else?"
"Why should I send it?"
Ji Yuan looked at them and said, "Work is work, and grades are grades."
"It's really too honest to just work without talking about the results."
While his subordinates were working hard on it, Ji Yuan had already started to do this.
Now that we have achieved results, we need to sum up the experience and lessons learned and organize our working methods.
Otherwise, who knows how much you have done.
To put it bluntly.
The people under him work seriously, and he will fight for what he should fight for.
Seeing the backlog of documents being processed at a rapid pace, this "History Bureau Administrative Methodology" is not only a summary of their work, but also a letter of praise.
When Ji Yuan took the article to see Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Li was happy to do him a favor.
Why?
What is the reason?
How did Ji Yuan know that Prime Minister Li would definitely praise this article?
Ji Yuan touched his nose and said, "I originally thought that this was our internal achievement. Prime Minister Li asked each department to learn from it. It was an unexpected surprise."
He thought that internal recognition was already a reflection of his subordinates' achievements, and it would also look good when he talked about it later.
But Prime Minister Li directly pushed it to all government offices in the capital, which really made them famous.
As for the reason, Ji Yuan laughed: "The document has been suppressed for seven or eight years, and it is also a concern for Prime Minister Li."
So whether it's people, money or welfare.
It still deserves praise.
It all happened naturally.
But few people would think of this level.
I dare not even face my boss directly.
In other words, few people will strive for this "benefit".
Ji Yuan always believed that if you followed him, you would not suffer any loss.
Within a reasonable range, you should be rewarded for doing the right thing and praised for doing it well.
Isn’t this where part of the sense of accomplishment in work comes from?
Only reasonable compensation and appropriate reflection of personal value can make people more motivated to work!
Even if you let cows plow the fields, you have to feed them grass!
Ji Yuan then explained to everyone: "This is what you deserve. The summary of the way of doing things is indeed very good. Keep working hard in the future."
In addition to theirs, Ji Yuan also reviewed them to Dian Ji, saying, "This month's bonus has also been announced. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask."
The names of several people who reviewed the classics are also at the back of the "Methodology of Administrative Affairs of the Historian's Office".
It also details what each person did.
It seems to be setting an example for everyone, but in fact it is just writing down the names of several officials so that the superiors know that everyone has done their job!
Leave traces when you work!
So at this moment, several people were eager to follow Ji Yuan and do something more.
Working under a leader like this, I would feel like dying!
All the hard work of the past month turned into happiness here.
After all, wherever they go, people praise them.
My peers were extremely envious.
We are all working, why do we have different fates?
When working in the Hanlin Academy, Ji Yuan doesn't care what your identity is. Editor Song and Editor Xie are both from prominent families.
But those two Shujishi were not like that.
Doesn’t the boss treat everyone equally?
Ji Yuan now goes to the six ministries to do work, and the newly-appointed Jinshi look at him as if he were a piece of fat meat.
And I made a secret decision in my heart.
They must go to the Hanlin Academy for the selection of scholars in July!
We must escape from these damn places!
It would definitely be better to work for Jiyuan!
What?
Hard?
Aren’t they having a hard time now?
Isn’t it just organizing documents?
They can do it too!
The envy of their peers made Song Liuqun and Xie Zhifu smile so hard that they couldn't stop.
When he returned home, he was full of praise for Ji Yuan.
Lord Song was speechless.
But think about when I first passed the imperial examination.
If I were assigned to work under such a boss at that time, I would probably be as happy as Song Liuqun.
If these make the new scholars want to go to the Hanlin Academy more.
The appointment of the two Shujishi from the Historiography Office surprised everyone even more.
Everyone has always known about the existence of those two Shujishi.
Left over from the last examination.
I felt that the officials in the civil service department were not good enough, so I didn't want to go, and I kept putting it off until now.
It’s because there are too few suitable positions now. There has been no news from the Ministry of Personnel for the past six months.
But this time, the "Methodology of Government Affairs of the Historian's Office" actually made the Ministry of Personnel pay attention to them again.
In other words, the prince noticed that one of the authors of the article was a Jinshi in the previous session.
The Ministry of Personnel naturally took the prince's casual mention seriously and sent two scholars to go over and take a look at the two official positions on hand.
Be prepared to take office if appropriate.
Mr. Liu and Mr. Chen were dumbfounded.
An official has been appointed?!
They waited for three years but still couldn't find a suitable position.
Now, because of an article, they are sent abroad directly? !
And since the prince mentioned it, the position must be good!
In other words, they have been ignored for more than half a year, and now they will do any job offered to them!
The two of them wanted to kowtow to Ji Zhuangyuan.
I even thought that it would be good not to be sent abroad. It would be nice if I could be a subordinate of Ji Yuan.
Do you still need to worry about future promotions and salary increases?
Of course, they were just thinking about it. With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they would definitely go.
The entire Historian's Office was happy for him.
But after the two of them went to the Ministry of Personnel, Song Liuqun shouted, "Not good!"
What's wrong?
There were originally few people in the Historian's Office.
Now that the two of them are leaving, won't the burden on them be even heavier? !
With so many clerks, we have two less "coolies" to do the work!
Everyone subconsciously looked at Ji Yuan, at their boss.
Everyone has an instinctive trust in him.
"Master Ji, would you like to discuss with Prime Minister Li and allocate more manpower to us?"
"If it really doesn't work, we can advance the selection of Shujishi!"
"That's right, those newly-appointed scholars are all waiting to come to us!"
The era took a half step back.
Are you serious?
I am only a sixth-rank editor.
How could they have that kind of ability? Why do they advance the selection of Shujishi? Why don’t they talk about assigning officials in advance?
The Historians' Office is still joking.
It was a shock to the scholars outside.
There are even some successful candidates who are still observing government affairs in the six ministries and waiting to be assigned official positions, and they can't wait to enter the Hanlin Academy!
I can’t wait to work for Ji Yuan right now!
Wait a minute, you will be admitted if you pass the exam.
Then they can go to the Hanlin Academy to help out if they have nothing to do.
That's possible, right?
This is their voluntary labor.
Many of the scholars who had extremely free time began to sneak into the Hanlin Academy.
Stop talking!
We love to work!
Let's get to work now!
Please!
While the Observatory was secretly acting.
Prime Minister Li smiled and wrote a word on Ji Yuan's assessment document.
excellent.
It seems that it is not enough.
Two more words were added.
Up to the best.
Oh, where should we send such talents?
